Frutarom Integration Initiative
In connection with the acquisition of Frutarom, the Company began to execute an integration plan that, among other initiatives, seeks to optimize its manufacturing network. As part of the Frutarom Integration Initiative, the Company expects to close approximately 35 manufacturing sites with most of the closures targeted to occur by the end of 2022 due to delays as a result of COVID-19. During 2019, the Company announced the closure of ten sites, of which six sites were in Europe, Africa and Middle East, two sites were in Latin America, and one site was in each of North America and Greater Asia regions. During 2020, the Company announced the closure of eleven sites, of which five sites were in Europe, Africa and Middle East, four sites were in North America and two sites were in Greater Asia region. Since the inception of the initiative through 2020, the Company has expensed $26.7 million. Total costs for the program are expected to be approximately $63 million including cash and non-cash charges through 2022.
2019 Severance Program

Since the inception of the program, the Company has expensed $20.5 million. As of December 31, 2020, the program is largely completed.
